Between the smoke from the fires around the area in the NC area on the East coast and the extreme hot weather the days have felt like the dog days of Summer. We are settled in at North West Creek Marina. Walking Coco in the area is good for her and us. We can walk the mile circle at least 3 to 4 times a day and we both get some exercise in. Coco has struggled in the heat; we try to keep her in the shade when walking and walk during the cooler temps of the day.
We have been by car to Oriental a few times this month, Oriental is one of our favorite places to visit. We went with friends from New Bern to Atlantic Beach the Thursday before July 4th. We are planning a trip to Ocracoke weather permitting next week. My birthday has come and gone for another year, Ron makes the whole month of July special for me and the day of my birthday was fun. We spent part of the day going to some flea market shops. I found two flute books and spent 53 cents. I was happy. We took a sunset cruise on the water in the dinghy, we bought fresh shrimp from the shrimp boats in Oriental and stopped by a farmer’s market on the way back to Pale Moon. The evening meal was fresh shrimp and fresh corn cooked on the grill. Mmmm so good, eating on the upper helm, conversation; knowing we are so blessed!
Tomorrow we will go shopping and provision the boat for our trip next week. We are both excited to be traveling again for a few days.
